Colorado, which , swept a series from the Mets for the first time since 2018. The Rockies have two sweeps in their first nine series this season, also taking three games against Houston from April 6-8. They swept one of 52 series last year, three games at Miami from June 2-4.

New York, which has the major leagues’ highest payroll, dropped to 9-19 and is 47-74 dating to mid-June last year. The Mets had just 10 hits in the doubleheader, were shut out for the fifth time and were dealt their fourth series sweep this season.

In Chile鈥檚 Atacama Desert, the night sky feels infinite. Considered , its darkness is also one of the clearest windows to the universe.

A rare combination of dry climate, high altitude and, crucially, isolation from urban , makes the Atacama an unrivaled hub for world-class astronomy and home to the world鈥檚 largest ground-based .

鈥淭he conditions in the Atacama Desert are unique in the world,鈥� said Chiara Mazzucchelli, president of the Chilean Astronomical Society. 鈥淭here are more than 300 clear nights per year, meaning no clouds and no rain.鈥�

But the world’s darkest skies may be at risk.

Last year, the desert between scientists and an energy firm proposing a green power complex just kilometers (miles) from the . Managed by the European Southern Observatory, ESO, the site also is the future home to what is to be the most powerful optical telescope ever built.

Although the energy project was canceled in January following a massive appeal from astronomers, physicists and Nobel laureates, it exposed deep concerns that existing sky preservation laws are lax, outdated and unclear. Since then, several environmental regulations have come under review, including one from Chile’s science ministry targeting protected astronomical zones.

鈥淲e are working to ensure the new criteria are strict enough to guarantee that there will be no impact on astronomical areas,鈥� said Daniela Gonz谩lez, director of the Cielos de Chile Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 2019 to protect the quality of Chile鈥檚 night skies.

The best skies

The Associated Press spent three days visiting the Paranal facilities in the . In this high-altitude corridor, several observatories operate side by side using some of the most sophisticated instruments ever engineered.

鈥淢any of these large facilities are located in Chile, and ESO’s telescopes in particular are the most powerful astronomical facilities on the planet,鈥� said Itziar de Gregorio-Monsalvo, the intergovernmental organization鈥檚 representative in Chile.

Paranal is one of nearly 30 astronomical sites in northern Chile, most of which are managed by international organizations. Every year, the Atacama Desert draws thousands of astronomers and scientists from around the world to investigate the origins of the universe.

鈥淲e are lucky to be here,鈥� said Julia Bodensteiner, an assistant professor at University of Amsterdam, noting that the chances of being selected as a visiting astronomer at Paranal are just 20% to 30%.

Walking across the Atacama’s rocky, uneven terrain is no easy task. At altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), oxygen becomes a luxury, while scorching days give way to relentlessly cold nights. But for space observation and exploration, these more than 105,000 square kilometers (40,500 square miles) of desert are the perfect setting.

The exceptional conditions of the Atacama have enabled some of the most ambitious astronomical projects ever conceived, like the Extremely Large Telescope, ELT 鈥� a $1.5 billion endeavor by ESO scheduled for completion in 2030.

With 798 mirrors and a light-gathering area of nearly 1,000 square meters (a quarter of an acre), the ELT will be 20 times more powerful than today鈥檚 leading telescopes and 15 times sharper than .

All the at these observatories play a fundamental role not only for life on Earth, but also for the possibilities of its development beyond our planet. Preserving these research spots is essential.

With the ELT, said ESO astronomer Lucas Bordone, 鈥渨e should be able to see Earth-like planets in what we call the habitable zone, so basically the planets which are candidates towards life.鈥�

Darkness under threat

Twenty years ago, the Atacama Desert was 鈥渁n ocean of darkness,鈥� recalled Eduardo Unda-Sanzana, director of the Astronomy Center at the University of Antofagasta. 鈥淚t was just you and the universe.鈥�

Over the years, however, the .

Driven by urban sprawl, industrial development, and the arrival of mining and wind farms, the desert has become a coveted territory where balance is not always easy to reach.

In Paranal, specialists live like moles in an underground residence designed to keep their presence almost undetectable. Windows must remain covered, hallways stay dark, and any outside movement is guided only by flashlight. Even the faintest light can interfere with .

The announcement last year of an imminent green energy project sent shock waves through the international scientific community. Experts pressured authorities to protect Chile鈥檚 night sky from the proposed site, which was slated for construction just 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Paranal.

The case raised the alarms due to its impacts, such as increased light pollution, micro-vibrations and dust, as well as greater atmospheric turbulence. These conditions would make astronomical activities unviable.

鈥淚f you place the ELT next to a city, it doesn鈥檛 matter that its diameter is 40 meters long. It鈥檚 just the same as having a tiny telescope,鈥� Gregorio-Monsalvo said.

Although the company canceled the project in late January, scientists warn that without new, updated regulations, similar projects could be proposed at any moment.

鈥淒espite all the media hype in 2025, we find ourselves exactly where we were last year,鈥� said Unda-Sanzana, who is also part of a ministerial advisory commission that recently delivered recommendations to Chile鈥檚 government following the incident.

There is no shortage of precedents. The first international heliophysics observatory in Chile 鈥� a major solar station operated by the U.S. Smithsonian Institution in the early 20th century 鈥� was forced to shut down operations in 1955 due to environmental pollution caused by the expansion of mining activity in the area.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had 70 years to learn from history and avoid repeating those same mistakes,鈥� Unda-Sanzana said.

Embiid wasted little time scoring in his first game since April 6. The two-time NBA scoring champion 鈥� who hoped to spark a that trails 2-1 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series 鈥� sank two free throws for the Sixers’ first points of the game, added a monster two-handed jam and scored the team’s first eight points.

Embiid was listed as doubtful to start the day and was upgraded to questionable about 90 minutes before the scheduled tipoff. Embiid returned to the court wearing a protective brace around his midsection, and was cleared to play about 40 minutes before the start of Game 4.

The 32-year-old Embiid averaged 26.9 points and 7.7 rebounds this season after playing in only 19 games in 2024-25. He hasn鈥檛 appeared in as many as 40 games in a regular season since 2022-23, when he averaged a career-best 33.1 points and

Embiid had an appendectomy in Houston on April 9 after Philadelphia鈥檚 star big man was stricken with appendicitis overnight.

Of course, it’s unclear just how productive or how long Embiid could play in Game 4. Sixers coach Nick Nurse had no answers ahead of the game to both of those questions, but it’s clear the 2023 NBA MVP should at least provide an emotional lift to a Sixers team that was a 7 1/2-point home underdog to the Celtics, according to oddsmakers.

The Celtics won Game 1 by 32 points and the Sixers responded with a surprise 111-97 win in Boston in Game 2. Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points and shot the Sixers into a fourth-quarter lead in Game 3 before Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown took over down the stretch for the Celtics in a 108-100 victory.

Embiid joined Maxey, rookie standout VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. in the starting lineup.

Embiid’s absence in the play-in tournament win over Orlando and the first three playoff games against Boston continues a trend of injury-plagued postseasons.

In 2024, Embiid played in the playoffs through a bout with , a form of facial paralysis. He wore sunglasses to the podium after he in the Sixers鈥� Game 3 win over the Knicks and said at the time he was dealing with various symptoms such as blurred vision and dry eyes.

A year earlier, Embiid missed a playoff game in two series because of a .

In 2022, the Sixers won 51 games under coach Doc Rivers and had a great chance at a deep playoff run until Embiid suffered a and a concussion when he was hit in the face by Toronto鈥檚 Pascal Siakam. He also suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb. Embiid missed two games in a second-round series against Miami. The Sixers lost both games and the series, 4-2.

Embiid missed one game in the 2021 playoffs with a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Embiid missed one playoff game in 2019 and two in 2018 with injuries.

Abbas Araghchi had left Pakistan鈥檚 capital late the previous day, creating confusion around an expected second round of talks there, but he returned before continuing on to Moscow on Sunday, Iranian state media said. He had been in Oman, which previously mediated talks and is on the other side of the strategic .

The White House last week said it would dispatch envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad to follow up on earlier this month. But shortly after Araghchi’s departure Saturday, Trump said he had called off the mission because of a lack of progress with Iran.

鈥淚f they want, we can talk but we鈥檙e not sending people,” Trump told Fox 草莓传媒 on Sunday. He said earlier on social media: 鈥淎ll they have to do is call!!!鈥�

Indirect talks between the two sides were ongoing, two Pakistani officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Trump last week that U.S. and Iran agreed to on April 7 that has largely halted the fighting that began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Feb. 28. But a permanent settlement remains elusive in the war that has killed thousands of people and shaken the global economy.

Strait of Hormuz at center of Iran鈥檚 discussions in Oman

A standoff remained on in the , a vital global waterway through which one-fifth of the world鈥檚 oil typically travels, as Iran has restricted movement through it and the U.S. enforces a .

Iran wants to persuade Oman to support a mechanism to passing through the strait, through which a fifth of the world鈥檚 oil flows in peacetime, according to a regional official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter.

Oman鈥檚 response wasn鈥檛 immediately clear.

The official, who is involved in mediation efforts, also said Iran insists on ending the U.S. blockade before a new round of talks and that Pakistan-led mediators are trying to bridge significant gaps between the countries.

Araghchi also spoke by phone with counterparts in Qatar and Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Even before Saturday鈥檚 developments, Iran鈥檚 foreign ministry said any talks would be indirect and Pakistani officials would act as go-betweens, reflecting Tehran’s wariness after rounds of indirect talks last year and earlier this year ended with Iran being attacked by the U.S. and Israel.

Trump said Iran has offered a 鈥榤uch better鈥� proposal

The two months into the war as global shipments of oil, liquefied natural gas, fertilizer and by the near-closure of the strategic strait.

Both sides have continued to make military threats. Iran鈥檚 joint military command on Saturday warned that 鈥渋f the U.S. continues its aggressive military actions, including naval blockades, banditry, and piracy鈥� it will face a 鈥渟trong response.鈥�

Trump last week ordered the military to that could be in the waterway.

Trump told journalists on Saturday, before a , that within 10 minutes of him canceling Witkoff and Kushner鈥檚 trip to Islamabad, Iran sent a 鈥渕uch better鈥� proposal.

He did not elaborate but stressed that one of his conditions is that Iran 鈥渨ill not have a nuclear weapon.鈥� The status of has long been at the center of tensions. Tehran has 440 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% purity, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels, according to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.

Syed Mohammad Ali, an independent political analyst in Pakistan, said the delay in the talks must not be seen as a setback and that indirect talks were progressing. He said tensions between Washington and Tehran cannot be eased overnight and the negotiation process requires patience.

“But the good thing is that the ceasefire is holding, and both sides have a desire to end the conflict in a way that does not backfire at home,鈥� Ali said.

A growing toll even as fragile ceasefires hold

Since the war began, at least 3,375 people have been killed in Iran and at least 2,509 people in Lebanon, where the Israel-Hezbollah fighting resumed two days after the Iran war started.

Also, 23 people have been killed in Israel and more than a dozen in Gulf Arab states. Fifteen Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, 13 U.S. service members in the region and six U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon have been killed.

Another ceasefire 鈥� between 鈥� has been extended by three weeks. Hezbollah has not participated in the Washington-brokered diplomacy.

Oil prices rise again as Pakistan talks fail to materialize

Oil prices rose when the market opened Sunday as traders absorbed the news of the stalled ceasefire talks.

West Texas Intermediate, the U.S.-produced light, sweet crude, was selling for $96.50 a barrel Sunday, up 2% since the market closed on Friday. The price was 44% higher than before the start of the Iran war, when oil was selling for about $67 a barrel.

Brent crude, the international standard, was trading at $107.75 per barrel Sunday, up about 3% since Friday and 48% since the war began, when oil was selling for $72 a barrel.

have risen steadily since the war began and tankers full of crude became stranded in Persian Gulf, unable to safely transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

In the seventh inning and down 7-2, Tawa鈥檚 shot to the left field sent home Jos茅 Fern谩ndez, Nolan Arenado and Alek Thomas while Lourdes Gourriel Jr hit a two-run double for the winning run.

Vargas, who went 3-for-5 in the game, hit his solo homer in the sixth inning against Michael King to extend his hitting streak to 24 games. Vargas鈥檚 streak is tied with four others for the longest in the Majors since 2024 behind Bryan Reynolds鈥� 25-gamer from June 1-29, 2024.

Manny Machado blasted two homers for the Padres.

Ryan Thompson (2-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning to get the win.

Bradgley Rodr铆guez (0-1) took the loss, allowing two runs in 2 2/3 innings.

The teams combined for six home runs on Sunday, short of the 11 that were hit in Mexico City when the Padres played San Francisco in 2023.

Mexico City is in the Valley of Mexico on a high central plateau at an elevation of 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level. The Alfredo Harp Hel煤 Stadium, which hosts MLB Mexico City Series games, is higher than Coors Field in Denver (the highest stadium in MLB at about 5,200 feet).

The game was the last of a three-game series in Mexico City, but MLB’s commissioner Rob Manfred said that there are plans to return.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 say enough good things about it. We鈥檙e excited about doing more and more in Mexico,鈥� Manfred said before the game. 鈥淲e鈥檙e going to develop an international play plan with the MLBPA as part of the collective bargaining process, and Mexico is going to be a big part of that鈥�.

Hocevar, who drives the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, joined Ty Gibbs (who won two weeks ago at Bristol Motor Speedway), as the second first-time winner this season.

Hocevar, who has made headlines for angering veterans with aggressive moves, won in his 91st start in NASCAR鈥檚 premier series. The 23-year-old from Portage, Michigan, used a drafting push from Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Chevrolet to edge past Buescher鈥檚 No. 17 Ford by 0.114 seconds.

Hocevar celebrated by taking a victory lap while sitting on his car’s doorsill, making contact with the outside wall while doing an unconventional burnout and then hopping on his roof to encourage the crowd.

Bowman finished third (his best finish since missing four races with vertigo), followed by Chase Elliott and Zane Smith.

Hocevar capped a weekend of first-time NASCAR winners at the 2.66-mile oval. In the lower circuits on Saturday at Talladega, Corey Day (O鈥橰eilly Auto Parts Series) and Andy Jankowiak (ARCA Menards Series) made their first trips to victory lane.

Big wreck

With tight packs at nearly 200 mph, Talladega is known for massive wrecks, and some contact at the front involved 26 of the 40 cars in the field on Sunday.

Bubba Wallace was leading on Lap 115 when he lost control of his No. 23 Toyota on a push by the No. 1 Chevrolet of Ross Chastain. Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Larson were among those eliminated from contention in the crash, along with Wallace, who finished outside the top 30 for the third time in five races.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a bummer,鈥� said the 23XI Racing driver, who was making his 300th Cup start. 鈥淏ut we鈥檝e got to figure out how to be pushed better, so I take responsibility on that. And we鈥檒l have a good debrief and figure out what we can do to make our Toyotas a little bit better at being pushed and maybe not have that happen.鈥�

Mileage still matters

In an attempt to blunt the fuel conservation strategies that have become prevalent at superspeedways, NASCAR instituted a 98-lap first stage that covered more than half the race distance (which is typically the length of the final stage). The change resulted in an opening segment that ran for 85 minutes under green as drivers cautiously raced well below their maximum speeds to achieve optimum mileage.

They opened the second stage at full throttle, and the big pileup erupted only 10 laps later.

鈥淚t鈥檚 frustrating,鈥� Logano said. 鈥淲hat do you want? Save fuel or crash? Pick one. That鈥檚 what it feels like right now. You鈥檝e got round bumpers on these things. The cars are unstable. And once everyone starts pushing and racing aggressive, it鈥檚 going to happen. So until we fix that stuff, we鈥檙e going to continue seeing it, unfortunately.鈥�

New deal

The Malian government confirmed the death of the defense chief, Gen. Sadio Camara, in a post on the defense ministry’s Facebook page, and expressed its condolences to his family. State-run television also broadcast the announcement of his death by spokesman Gen. Issa Ousmane Coulibaly.

Mali was struck on Saturday by on its army in the capital, Bamako, and several other cities and towns in an assault that also challenged Mali鈥檚 security partner, Russia, which has forces on the ground in the West African country.

The government said Sunday the attacks appear to be over, but several questions remain, including who was in control of a key northern city that the separatists claim to have taken.

The government has not provided a death toll from Saturday and previously said only that at least 16 people were wounded in what it denounced as terror attacks.

The separatists have been to create an independent state in northern Mali, while al-Qaida and IS-aligned militants have been fighting the government for over a decade.

According to the government statement, Camara’s residence was targeted by a suicide car bomber and other attackers on Saturday.

鈥淗e engaged in an exchange of fire with the assailants, some of whom he managed to neutralize,鈥� it said. “During intense clashes, he was wounded and then transported to the hospital, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.”

A spokesperson for the separatist Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front, or FLA, said the Russian Africa Corps troops and the Malian military withdrew from the city of Kidal following the attack on Saturday, after an agreement was reached for their peaceful exit.

鈥淜idal is declared free,鈥� said FLA spokesperson Mohamed El Maouloud Ramadan.

In a statement on state TV late Sunday night, Gen. Oumar Diarra, head of the armed forces, confirmed that the Malian army had left the city and that its forces were repositioning in Anefis, a city about 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Kidal.

The separatists have been to create an independent state in northern Mali.

Kidal had long served as a stronghold of the rebellion before being taken by Malian government forces and Russian mercenaries in 2023. Its capture marked a significant symbolic victory for the junta and its Russian allies.

Militants unite with separatists to coordinate attacks

Saturday’s wave of attacks was the first time the separatists joined forces with the al-Qaida-linked group JNIM, which said it was also part of the attack on Kidal and had also targeted a town outside of the capital of Bamako and three other cities on Saturday.

The FLA spokesperson confirmed the coordinated push.

鈥淭his operation is being carried out in partnership with the JNIM, which is also committed to defending the people against the military regime in Bamako,鈥� Ramadan said.

The separatists called on Russia to 鈥渞econsider its support for the military junta” in Mali, saying its “actions have contributed to the suffering of the civilian population.鈥�

Wassim Nasr, a specialist for the region and senior research fellow at the Soufan Center security think tank, said this 鈥渃oordination, conducting attacks all over the country at the same time,鈥� the united push by the two groups and the call for the Russian military to leave was a first.

It extended beyond the military, he said, to the political level because both groups 鈥渁cknowledged that they worked together.鈥�

Following the attacks, a three-day overnight curfew, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., was also announced for the Bamako district.

Mali’s government spokesperson, Coulibaly, said civilian and military personnel were among the 16 wounded and that several militants were killed. He did not provide a death toll.

A threat to the wider region

The Economic Community of West African States condemned Saturday’s attacks in Mali and called on 鈥渁ll states, security forces, regional mechanisms and populations of West Africa to unite and mobilize in a coordinated effort to combat this scourge.鈥�

Following military coups, the juntas in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso turned from Western allies to Russia for help in combating Islamic militants.

But the security situation in the region has , with a record number of attacks by militants. Government forces have also been accused of killing civilians they suspect of collaborating with militants.

In 2024, an al-Qaida-linked group claimed an attack on Bamako鈥檚 airport and a military training camp in the country’s capital, .

Ulf Laessing, from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, said that the separatists and JNIM are unlikely to take control of Bamako in the near term due to opposition from the local population.

Still, the attacks undermined the Malian junta’s Russian partners.

鈥淭he attacks are a major blow to Russia as the mercenaries had no intelligence about the attacks and were unable to protect major cities,鈥� Laessing said.

Refsnyder lifted the Mariners to a 3-2 win in the game that featured nine challenges of plate umpire John Bacon’s calls. Refsnyder had his third strike overturned in the ninth inning by before hitting JoJo Romero’s pitch 412 feet into the left-field bullpen.

鈥淚t鈥檚 tough when you鈥檙e not playing every day. Sometimes you lose sight of the strike zone,鈥� said Refsnyder, who was making his first ABS challenge. 鈥淏ut that felt really outside. Thankful for the challenge system.鈥�

Bacon had seven calls overturned in his two previous games behind home plate.

Cardinals catcher Iv谩n Herrera, who successfully had four balls overturned into strikes for his pitchers in the game, said Romero鈥檚 pitch was outside of the zone.

鈥淯mpires are humans,” Herrera said. “We鈥檙e all going to make mistakes. Sometimes I don鈥檛 even know whether it鈥檚 a ball or a strike. It was just a pitch that was out of the zone.鈥�

JJ Wetherholt had the game鈥檚 first unsuccessful challenge attempting to overturn a strike call in the ninth before he fouled out to end the game.

鈥淭oday, it worked in our favor. Tomorrow, it might not,鈥� Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to say, but this is becoming a part of baseball. It is a part of baseball. So, I think, using it in a way that can help you out as much as possible is what our guys are going to try to do.鈥�

Umpire C.B. Bucknor was when he had six calls overturned by the ball-strike system in a Boston-Cincinnati game, including back-to-back strikes turned into balls during a Eugenio Su谩rez at-bat.

鈥淚t’s the first year I鈥檝e ever done it,” Refsnyder said. 鈥淪o, it鈥檚 not super natural to kind of question the umpire like that.鈥�

Pakistan-led mediators are working to bridge significant gaps between the U.S. and Iran, according to a regional official involved in the mediation efforts who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter. Iran still insists on ending the before launching a new round of talks with the Trump administration, the official said.

Trump said he told his top envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner not to travel to Pakistan this weekend to negotiate with Iran.

鈥淚f they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!鈥� Trump said on social media.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian told Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during a phone call Saturday night that the U.S. 鈥渟hould first remove operational obstacles, including the blockade,鈥� to allow a new round of negotiations, according to the ISNA and Tasnim news agencies in Iran.

Here is the latest:

Oil prices rise after US-Iran talks in Pakistan fail to materialize

Oil prices rose when the market opened Sunday as traders absorbed the news that talks between the U.S. and Iran about a again.

West Texas Intermediate, the U.S.-produced light, sweet crude, was selling for $96.50 a barrel Sunday, up 2% since the market closed on Friday. The price was 44% higher than before the start of the Iran war, when oil was selling for about $67 a barrel.

Brent crude, the international standard, was trading at $107.75 per barrel Sunday, up about 3% since Friday and 48% since the war began, when oil was selling for $72 a barrel.

Iran鈥檚 foreign minister leaves Pakistan for Russia

Abbas Araghchi made a brief visit to Islamabad a day after leaving the city and throwing the prospect of a second round of talks with the United States into question.

He had gone to Oman, located on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz, before his latest three-hour visit to Islamabad. He then left for Russia late Sunday.

The U.S. didn鈥檛 send envoys to Pakistan for a second round of talks, but Pakistan continues to mediate, and two officials there said indirect talks are still ongoing. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Araghchi鈥檚 low-profile visit contrasted with his earlier one, when he met with Pakistan鈥檚 military and political leaders and presented Tehran鈥檚 proposals to end conflict in the region.

Pakistan lifts Islamabad lockdown after stalled US-Iran talks

Pakistan鈥檚 foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, said late Sunday that the government has lifted all restrictions around the high-security zone in the capital of Islamabad.

Iranian and U.S. delegations held rare face-to-face talks there earlier this month. The area had remained under lockdown for more than a week as Pakistan hoped to host a second round of talks aimed at securing a ceasefire.

Dar鈥檚 remarks signaled that there was no immediate prospect of further direct talks between the United States and Iran. Still, Pakistan鈥檚 government says it continues to mediate by conveying messages between the two sides to promote lasting stability in the region.

In a post on X, Dar thanked residents of Islamabad and the nearby city of Rawalpindi 鈥渇or their patience and cooperation.鈥�

Trump says US, Iranian officials can talk by phone

In an interview Sunday on Fox 草莓传媒 Channel, Trump said he made that decision rather than send a delegation on a 17-hour flight.

鈥淲e have all the cards. If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us,鈥� Trump said, not indicating when the call would take place.

Talks appeared to fall apart on Saturday, with Tehran鈥檚 top diplomat leaving Pakistan, and Trump soon afterward saying he had told envoys not to travel to Islamabad.

Asked about NATO, Trump said he was 鈥渧ery, very disappointed鈥� in the , which he has suggested the U.S. may consider leaving after member countries ignored his call to help as Iran effectively shut the .

鈥淲e鈥檝e been serving them for many years, spending trillions of dollars, and when we wanted to help they were not there, so we have to remember that,鈥� Trump said.

Israel strikes Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon

The Israeli military says it carried out artillery and airstrikes in southern Lebanon.

They targeted Hezbollah militants and weapons sites, including rocket launchers and storage facilities, north of what it calls the Forward Defense Line, as fighting has picked up in recent days despite a ceasefire.

Israeli strikes raise death toll to 2,509 in Lebanon

The country鈥檚 health ministry added in figures released Sunday that 7,755 people were wounded in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war that broke out on March 2.

The war broke out after Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel two days after the U.S. and Israel attacked its main backer, Iran.

A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect on April 17. The ceasefire was extended by three weeks on Thursday.

Hezbollah calls its attacks on Israel 鈥榓 legitimate response鈥�

The Iran-backed group on Sunday condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu鈥檚 ceasefire remarks, in which he said Hezbollah鈥檚 actions are threatening the truce between Israel and Lebanon.

Hezbollah said its shelling of Israeli targets is 鈥渁 legitimate response鈥� to what it described as Israel鈥檚 violations of the ceasefire.

The group also criticized Lebanese authorities, saying they 鈥渉ave placed themselves in a dangerous predicament when they chose to be photographed in a disgraceful image alongside representatives of a usurping and illegitimate entity that violates its land and sovereignty and continues killing its people.鈥�

The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended for three weeks, with Trump hosting talks flanked by Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors.

Israeli girl wounded in Iran missile strike dies weeks later

An 11-year-old Israeli girl who was critically wounded in an Iranian missile strike earlier this month has died of her injuries, according to Sheba Medical Center.

The girl had been hospitalized at Sheba since the attack. She died on Friday after several weeks in critical condition.

She was wounded when a missile struck a residential area in the central Israeli city of Bnei Brak on April 1 and had remained in critical condition for several weeks.

Her death raises Israel鈥檚 death toll from the war to 39.

Top Iranian diplomat arrives in Pakistan in effort to resume peace talks

Iran鈥檚 foreign minister arrived in Islamabad on Sunday after a visit to Oman, Pakistani officials said, as Islamabad steps up efforts to bring Tehran and Washington back to the negotiating table.

Abbas Araghchi will hold more talks with Pakistani officials during the visit and is expected to travel to Moscow afterward, two officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media on the record.

Top diplomats for Iran and Qatar speak by phone about peace efforts

Iran鈥檚 top diplomat has briefed his Qatari counterpart about his country鈥檚 鈥渓atest initiatives and diplomatic efforts鈥� to end the war in the Middle East.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke by phone Sunday with Qatar鈥檚 top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

The two ministers affirmed the importance of diplomatic coordination to back peace efforts, Araghchi wrote in his channel on Telegram.

Egypt鈥檚 foreign minister speaks with his Qatari and Iranian counterparts

Egypt Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed efforts to relaunch negotiations between the United States and Iran with his Qatari and Iranian counterparts.

In separate calls with the ministers, Abdelatty affirmed the importance of the diplomatic path to ensure the continuation of the ceasefire in a way that leads to an end to the war.

Israeli president delays decision on Netanyahu request to halt trial

Israeli President Isaac Herzog delayed a decision on a request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt his corruption trial.

Herzog鈥檚 office said the president has stated 鈥渙n several occasions鈥� that a settlement between Netanyahu and prosecutors is the best way to resolve the case and this position hasn鈥檛 changed.

鈥淭he president therefore believes that before addressing the pardon request itself, efforts should first be exhausted to reach an agreement between the parties, outside the courtroom,鈥� the office said.

The announcement marked a setback for Netanyahu, who faces new elections later this year. It also came despite multiple .

Netanyahu filed his request in November, saying that dropping corruption charges against him would help unify the country. His office did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Israeli forces kill 4 Palestinians in Gaza

At least four Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces Sunday morning in the Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said.

Two men were killed when Israeli forces opened fire on a group of people in the Kuwait roundabout in southeastern Gaza City, according to Shifa hospital, which received the casualties.

Another man was shot and killed close to the Saqqa mosque in central Gaza, the hospital said.

Nasser hospital said a 40-year-old woman was shot and killed by Israeli forces close to the Turkish slaughterhouse in the southern part of Khan Younis city.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The deaths were the latest among Palestinians in the coastal enclave since an October ceasefire deal attempted to halt more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

While the heaviest fighting has subsided, Israeli forces have carried out repeated airstrikes and frequently fired on Palestinians near military-held zones.

At least 811 Palestinians have been killed including at least 226 children and 179 women, according to Gaza health officials.

Israeli military tells Lebanese in 7 towns to flee ahead of strikes

Israel鈥檚 military on Sunday warned Lebanese living in seven southern towns to flee their homes ahead of strikes in the area.

Col. Avichay Adraea, a military spokesman, claimed without evidence that Hezbollah violated a ceasefire deal between Lebanon and Israel. He didn鈥檛 provide evidence.

Adraea said in a social media post that the military will operate in the area south of Zahrani river and ordered the residents to leave.

Israel previously issued a sweeping warning for people in southern Lebanon to flee their homes during its war against Hezbollah.

Analyst says indirect US-Iran talks progressing

Syed Mohammad Ali, an independent political analyst in Pakistan, said indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran were progressing despite Trump鈥檚 decision not to send envoys to talks that had been set to begin this weekend.

鈥淭he delay in the second round of Islamabad talks must not be seen as a setback to ceasefire negotiations and peace efforts, which remain on track,鈥� Ali told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Ali said ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran cannot be eased overnight and the negotiation process 鈥渞equires wisdom and patience from both sides.鈥�

鈥淭his is a sensitive and complicated process, and there will be ups and downs, which are normal in such matters. But the good thing is that the ceasefire is holding, and both sides have a desire to end the conflict in a way that does not backfire at home,鈥� Ali said.

Pakistan mediation attempts moving forward

Pakistan鈥檚 top political and military leadership is continuing to mediate between the United States and Iran, with indirect ceasefire talks still alive despite mounting tensions between the sides, two Pakistani officials said Sunday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Pakistan鈥檚 capital Islamabad on Sunday evening for a second visit in as many days after a short trip to Oman.

Araghchi was in Islamabad on Saturday and presented Tehran鈥檚 position on ending the regional conflict to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and other senior officials.

There were no immediate plans for U.S. envoys to return for talks, according to the Pakistani officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Netanyahu expresses shock after shots fired at event attended by Trump

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a close Trump ally, said Sunday morning he was shocked by what he called an 鈥渁ttempted assassination鈥� at an event attended by Trump.

Trump was at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night after a man armed with guns and knives stormed the lobby outside the event in Washington.

Police believe the man opened fire and acted alone but did not say who was his intended target or describe a motive. He was taken into custody.

One officer was shot in a bullet-resistant vest but was recovering, officials said.

鈥淲e send our wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the wounded police officer and salute the US Secret Service for their swift and decisive action,鈥� Netanyahu wrote on X.

Islamabad resumes normal life

Life began returning to normal in Pakistan鈥檚 capital on Sunday morning.

Authorities in Islamabad eased near-lockdown measures imposed during a week of heightened security prior to planned ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran.

The restrictions enforced across Islamabad and the nearby garrison city of Rawalpindi disrupted daily life for hundreds of thousands. Commuters were forced to make long detours, traffic thinned along major arteries and parents struggled to reach schools.

By Sunday, barriers were being lifted and traffic was gradually building on the city鈥檚 main roads. Residents described a sense of relief after days of gridlock and uncertainty.

The government said in a social media post late Saturday that tourist destinations, parks and bus terminals were being reopened.

Security remained tight around the heavily guarded Red Zone, home to key government buildings and the site where U.S.-Iran talks were held earlier this month.

Iran hangs man convicted of terrorism

Iran on Sunday hanged a man who was convicted of carrying out terrorist activities in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan, state media reported.

Amer Ramesh was hanged after the country鈥檚 Supreme Court upheld a death sentence issued by a primary court, according to Iran鈥檚 judiciary news outlet, Mizanonline.

Mizanonline did not report where he was hanged or when and where he was arrested.

Mizanonline said Ramesh received training in a regional country and was a member of militant group Jaish al-Adl, which reportedly aims to achieve greater rights for people in the Baloch ethnic group.

Iran has executed other people over similar charges and in recent weeks has hanged more than a dozen people accused of terrorist activities.

Iran鈥檚 president tells US to end blockade to negotiate

Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country won鈥檛 negotiate while the United States imposes a blockade on its ports, according to Iranian media.

Pezeshkian told Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during a phone call Saturday night that the U.S. 鈥渟hould first remove operational obstacles, including the blockade,鈥� to allow a new round of negotiations, the ISNA and Tasnim news agencies reported.

The Pakistani premier described the call as a 鈥渨arm and constructive discussion.鈥�

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi concluded a one-day trip to Pakistan鈥檚 capital Islamabad on Saturday after meeting with Pakistani military and government officials.

The trip did not produce a breakthrough in efforts to relaunch negotiations after Trump canceled a planned trip by his envoys to Islamabad.

Iranian foreign minister plans a return to Pakistan

Iran鈥檚 state-run IRNA news agency said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will return to Pakistan after his current visit to Oman on his way to visiting Russia.

The report said he was expected to be back in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad on Sunday and would join other members of his delegation who had gone to Tehran for consultations and 鈥渋nstructions on the topics related to the end of the war.鈥�
